Hello @windyshores — I do have an Endocrinologist. She suggested Reclast infusion and didn’t offer options. After I had the osteoarthritis problems, I don’t want to take anymore pharma meds. Based on what I have read on this forum shots and pills appear to have a lot of side effects as well, which affected our quality of life. Searched and found Light PhotoTherapy…, a more natural approach. ☺️

@bonana caan you explain the light phototherapy? Is that for your osteoarthritis?

Again if you have serious osteoporosis, I would have expected your endocrinologist to suggest a bone building drug like Forteo, Tymlos or Evenity. Is it possible to get a second opinion?

I try to remember that people with side effects are more likely to post. I have sensitivities to many meds but managed to do Tymlos by starting at a low dose and moving up. This titration helped mitigate side effects for me.

I know that Reclast has caused you a lot of pain. On the other hand, I have fractures and that pain and disability is permanent for me. So I tend to encourage trying meds to avoid fractures. If your DEXA is better than -3.0 or so, then providers like McCormick do suggest a natural approach first.
